Try something original and fruity this year for your sweetheart. Homemade gummies are a yummy, healthy alternative to all the candy being circulated at this time of year. Your honey will love it.
This is a really fun project to do with the kids as well, so if they are looking for something to make for mom for Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day, this will definitely tug at her heart strings.
I should know.
Be sure and check out my other gummy recipe. Same idea, different fruit flavors.
1. Juice your citrus and cut up your fruit.
2. Boil it all together until soft.
3. Blend it, let it cool, and add gelatin and sweetener.
4. Chill in fridge for 1 hour in a rimmed cookie sheet, then cut out your shapes.
